See?
The translator is screwing up.
Mic, those ain't no bad FPS calculations, the FPS realy are that slow. On my
system, translated programs runs a crapload slower than interpretted ones. Even
QBASIC could beat a translated program in speed on my sys. And I can't understand
why, because everything compiles right, no errors, no DOS extender chrashes, the
executable produced is 100% accurate (except for some Euphoria bugs) yet it's
extremely slow.
And, you're lucky your rotozoomer compiled. On my system it just hangs after 20
minutes of waiting.

Yeah!
Support LCC!
It's one of the most flexible C compilers for Win32 I ever saw. The speed is
good, compilation time is low, and the Win32 library is present. For Win32, LCC
is the choice of compiler to support. Cygwin does not produce stand alone
executables, and MingW shows a lack of functionality and is huge in size. LCC is
small and has a simple IDE. It's perfect.
